Websites For Booking Trains In France
« on: 23 October, 2017, 07:35:42 am »
Can anyone recommend a website for booking train journeys in France? Would particularly appreciate sites that post purchased tickets to a U.K. address. Thx.

Try Loco2.com - all in English and very well laid out. You may also have the option of print-at-home PDF tickets depending on the journey.

I used https://www.trainline.eu/ recently.  They found me a sleeper that others thought didn't exist, and were very helpful in sorting out bike reservations.  Choice of printing the PDF, presenting the barcode on your phone, or printing from the machine at the station.

The same as Ian H, I used Trainline.eu to book an InterCité, two overnight couchette trains and a TGV, all with bike reservations, back in the summer. No problems at all with presenting the tickets either on the SNCF phone app or as a pdf on the phone - after all, all they're after is the bar code. I also had print outs of the pdf files, just in case, but didn't need them. I could have saved all that extra weight!! ;-)
